How To Advertise On Water Tanks

In a meeting held about old and new water tank technology, it was discussed that some of the wooden water tanks that adorn the city's roof tops by the thousands can possibly be decorated with billboard like advertisements. When it comes to these tanks, they have been atop city buildings for over two decades now.

Actually, there are two family owned companies that installed these tanks not only in New York City but also in Philadelphia and two other cities as well. Old tanks have taken over the city and it would be a waste not to advertise on them.

It's a perfect blend of old New York and the cutting edge city. Getting the crowd interested is the goal here.

There needs to be an increased amount of effort for these tanks to be noticed. These tanks could go unnoticed for more years to come according to the chief of operations for the New York City Fire Department.

For the family who owns the company that installed and maintain these tanks, the tanks have been a way of life since the 1890s. From small time operations back in 1896, this father and son run company is now a multi-million dollar firm. Part of the son's job is to scurry all over the city to check the tanks.

A lot of benefit has been gained by people from these tanks and they continue to serve their purpose in our modern world. There was a power breach in the city a couple of years back and because these tanks do not make use of any electrical power, they were able to provide the residents with an emergency supply of water.

Some of the people who rely on these tanks are firemen. What you have here are cylindrical tanks which get their water supply from underground pipes.

When it comes to these tanks, you will see a couple of pipes like straws in a glass and these are located on the top and the bottom. Every tank has two straws and one of them exists to serve the standpipe system of a building. Due to the electric sensor, what happens is that automatic refills take place when the water level is low.

If you need some form of temperature control, the tank that you have should be constructed out of wood. The son, who is a trained engineer, said that three inches of wood has the same insulation capacity as 30 inches of concrete.

Cleaning when it comes to these wooden tanks only needs to happen every year and another thing that will be beneficial for the city government is the fact that these tanks need not be painted even after a span of more than five years. It is the sizes of the tanks that range from 3,500 gallons to 50,000 gallons. One 10,000 gallon tank will set you back $25,000.

Some staves or wooden panels as well as some galvanized iron hoops are what these tanks are made of and when it comes to these tanks, the water acts as an agent that causes the wood to expand allowing for a tight seal. From these tanks come a supply of water that is uncontaminated.

Many tanks are invisible from the street because they have been nicely covered by brick housings perched atop most modern buildings. You just need to look up to see these tanks. This is what you need to get those buyers interested.
